he gets all of us the first time. that handsome elf.
Lae'zel got me on my first run. Back at launch when her horny meter was bugged
Lae'zel almost got me too. I was so very tempted. lol
I didn't really know what was story and what was romance until she was like "I'm gonna fuck you tonight" and my ugly gnome sheepishly said OK
my bard instincts almost got me for her lol. I was like reloading saves lol.
but I'd been through the bite scene and I was interested. so every other romance option immediately got temporarily tabled. 😏
I played through 3 times but only ever romanced the women. I dunno if I could bring myself to go for Astarion though lol
He kind of grew on me by the end, after I fixed him.
Just don't ask yourself if it worked because he believes and trusts you, or because your mind worm is stronger than his.
I have never once progressed his romance past "Sounds to me like you need a friend rather than a lover." Any other option just feels like taking advantage of an abuse victim.
I suppose it could be viewed that way. But considering he understood his own feelings and even asked for intimacy later on, I don't really see it as harmful.
